* module_utils.urls: add fetch_file function
* apt: use fetch_file instead of own download()
* unarchive: use fetch_file instead of own codecopy
* apt: add test for deb=http://…
* unarchive: add test for a remote file download and unarchive
* yum: replace fetch_rpm_from_url by fetch_file
* use NamedTemporaryFile
* don't add a dot to fileext, it's already there
* __file__ won't work if we want to invoke modules via -m or if we
figure out how to keep modules from hitting the disk with pipelining.
* module.tmpdir is the new way to place a file where it will be cleaned
automatically.
Change format string to not depend on __file__:
* cloud/amazon/ec2_elb_lb.py
* cloud/amazon/elb_classic_lb.py
Use module.tempdir:
* packaging/os/apt.py
* files/unarchive.py
* Update apt.py
Proposing description of "cache_valid_time" for Ansible 2.4 or greater.
If 'cache_valid_time' is set, 'update_cache' is set implicitly.
This means the logic should be reversed.

`apt-get install python-apt` - this will install python2.7 and python3
After this operation, *88.4 MB* of additional disk space will be used.
`apt-get install --no-install-recommends python-apt` - only python2.7
After this operation, *35.0 MB* of additional disk space will be used.
(cherry picked from commit c542e62)
* Module DOCUMENTATION should match argspec
Large update of many modules so that DOCUMENTATION option name and
aliases match those defined in the argspec.
Issues identified by https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/34809
In addition to many typos and missing aliases, the following notable
changes were made:
* Create `module_docs_fragments/url.py` for `url_argument_spec`
* `dellos*_command` shouldn't have ever had `waitfor` (was incorrectly copied)
* `ce_aaa_server_host.py` `s/raduis_server_type/radius_server_type/g`
* `Junos_lldp` enable should be part of `state`.
In answer to #2540, `aptitude` was introduced as tool of choice for running
upgrades in the apt module and installing new packages that arise as
dependencies during upgrades.
This recently lead to problems, as for example Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) ships
without aptitude (installed).
Studying the man pages of both apt-get and aptitude, it appears that we can
achieve the effects of `aptitude safe-upgrade` using
```
apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs --autoremove
```
while `aptitude full-upgrade` seems to be identical to `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
We use `apt-get` as described above as a fall-back in case that `aptitude`
cannot be found, issuing a warning when it does so.
Furthermore it introduces a flag `force_apt_get` which may be used to enforce
usage of apt-get (which does not issue a warning).
The integration tests are updated accordingly.
Cf. also the discussion in #27370.
Fixes#18987
It's not clear from the docs whether you need to set `update_cache`
when using `cache_valid_time`.
Setting `cache_valid_time` should imply `update_cache`. Update docs
to reflect this.
* apt: include arch in check for installed packages on multi-arch systems
Thanks: Stefan Löwen <stefan.loewen@gmail.com>
Fixes: #24673
* add an integration test for apt's multi-arch handling
- Removed alias autoclean from autoremove.
- Added independent execution of apt-get autoclean/autoremove
- Continued to support --auto-remove as a flag to install/remove
Fixes#22222#24718
We invoke /usr/bin/apt inside of the ansible module. When that command
exits, it doesn't always include a helpful error message. Include the
exit code so that user's have all the information we can gice them as to
why apt failed.
